The YouTube Reporters’ Center, located at youtube.com\/reporterscenter, hosts a series of short video tutorials on subjects such as investigative journalism, citizen journalism, journalism ethics and how to conduct an interview.<\/p>\n
The five-minute video on investigative journalism is presented by Woodward, who along with a fellow Washington Post reporter uncovered the Watergate scandal which led to president Richard Nixon’s resignation.<\/p>\n
CBS News anchorwoman Katie Couric offers tips on “how to conduct a good interview” while Ariana Huffington, co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post website, talks about “citizen journalism.”<\/p>\n
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof provides instruction on reporting from a conflict zone “without getting shot.”<\/p>\n
Other tutorials include “How to Capture Breaking News on Your Cell Phone” and “How to Build Your Audience on YouTube.”<\/p>\n
YouTube described the venture as a bid to help “citizen reporters” learn more about how to report the news.<\/p>\n
The Google-owned video-sharing site also invited users with reporting experience to upload “how-to” videos to YouTube to “share your knowledge with citizen journalists around the world.”<\/p>\n
